Going to take my car to Dyno Tune next week, to get a baseline. Three pulls, on a dynojet, with wide band oxygen sensor for like 75.00. I have an 04 5AT sedan, with the only mod being a drop in K&N filter. I know all dynos are slightly different, and numbers are affected by tempurature, humidity etc. Just for reference what kind of numbers should I expect?
Before the flaming starts, I did a search and didn't see anything useful.

 

220's would be my guess. Might be more or less depending on how the dyno is set-up. Just make sure and use the same corrections and dyno each time. It's a tuning tool more than anything else. If you can keep the variables to a minimum you will see better representations of your actual gains from your mods.

 

My plan is to keep using the same dyno, that's why the base line.

 

I wish I would have done a baseline before I started all my mods.

 

You've got an awsome car. I can imagine the before and after graphs, for your car.

 

Thanks. I need to see if Tony at UMS Tuning has and G sedan baseline runs on his dyno now. I could at least put my current one over one of those.

 

I know this is off topic, but did you sell your stage II yet?

 

Why does your tq graph do that little loop?? That's kind of interesting. I think those numbers are good considering the temp you tested in.

 

Well when I went to a dyno with a bunch of Nissans the 350z go 218 so that should give you a good estimate...

 

That factory sticker on my 05 Sedan says I have 280hp. Now from what I understand that is at the crank right?!?! At the wheel is a whole different story....so my question is...

Where will I be sitting when I go to the dyno?!?! Ya'll have inspired me to get tested before I start modding out the engine.

What does 3 draws mean anyway? Just three rev ups?

 

Depending on the dyno, you will probably be standing near the car, with a dyno operator running it.
Three pulls means three"runs", usiually with a cool down in between.
The 280 is at the at the crank, chassis dynos measure at the rear wheels, there is generally a 15 to 20 percent loss. Generally manuals are little more efficient (15 to 17) than autos (17-20). These are just rough estimates, based on manufacturers horsepower ratings vs/ chassis dynos.
So all this being said our 5ATs should make in the neighborhood of 225 horsepower depending on all the variables listted in my first post.

 

That is interesting....should lessen the disappointment at the dyno :O

 

I have a sale pending. If you want to be the back-up send me a PM.
